What you HATE the most on your FR-S/BRZ/GT86/FT86?

The backseat latch should be easier - like a quick release lever. Contorting yourself to release the flimsy pair of cylinder latches atop the rear seats is just sooo fuun

Or when the little straps in the trunk get flipped over and caught in the latch. Then you are in for some fun.

The location of the drains in the doors. It puts two black grime lines on the rocker panel which makes my Halo FR-S look dirty all the time.

The visors are also very cheap in construction. You can feel the parting line in the molding.

That is about it.

I find that it's less like a rubber band and more like a compound bow..

I dislike the fact that the trunk is really hard to close unless you really slam it. Normal slam is insufficient. Every time I see someone post that their trunk flies open while driving sometimes I just know they didn't give it the ol WWE Undertaker Tombstone

That's weird just a slight nudge is enough for mine. Once it starts to fall the momentum on it's own is enough to latch it securely. I am in and out of it to grab my laptop at least twice a day and have never had an issue.

Ohhh, that's even better than the spring mod, thanks!

You can get used to the stock clutch, but if you jump from car to car like I do it gets irritating trying to recall the feel of each car. I like a much stiffer clutch.

I didn't notice the trunk needing a strange amount of force to close. I did notice that the way the back window flows into the leading edge of the trunk, it collects a ton of crap at the corners under the trunk.

Mine I grab the edge of the trunk and just flick my wrist. The momentum brings it down and it snaps shut with no excessive slamming.

Same experience for me also.

OH wait! Maybe the white paint isn't as heavy as the orange or blue!
Might be a simple adjustment? Never really paid any attention to the mech.

That's great news! I ordered a white one. Better power to weight ratio!
